You have squid or some other forward http proxy set up to share a cache among all the devices on your network set up to access the Web, to minimize duplicate traffic?
And you have a shared caching DNS server set up locally, something like BIND?
Oh. You don't. Well, that's probably okay. I mean, it probably doesn't matter that your devices are pulling duplicate copies of data down. Not everyone can have a network that minimizes latency and avoids inefficiency across devices.
That won't work in most cases, all https traffic isn't cached unless you mitm https which is a bad idea and not worth it.
Only cache updates those are worth it and most have a caching server option.
Time to expand.
Yeah, my home server was being a little too stable and I wasn't really learning anything. So I switched from fedora to proxmox, now I've got a nixos vm I'm going to try to get all my services running in.
Buy a UPS and setup a NUT server on the spare raspberry pi you have lying around.
Started running unmanic on my plex library to save hard drive space since apparently the powers that be don’t want us to even own hard drives anymore. So far it’s going great, it’ll probably take weeks since I don’t have a gpu hooked up to it
Me to my lab.
You should use Arch, then you can update every 15 minutes 🤭
If logging is down and there's no one around to log it, is it really down?

That's not a homelab, that's a home server.
Barring any hardware issues or external factors, will it run for 10000 years? Any logs not properly rotated? And other outputs accumulating and eventually filling up a filesystem?
Time to distro-hop!
